A Cast of Characters

A lot of my cakes are ordered for children's birthdays. Anyone who knows kids, knows that they usually have a favorite movie or TV character that they're into depending on their age. Here are some of my favorite "character cakes" that I've made. (If you're looking for princesses, you can find them here.)

This whole cake thing really started when I made my first cake for my oldest child's 2nd birthday. At the time, he was totally obsessed with Bob the Builder. I bought the pan, followed the instructions, and the rest is history...

A little inexperienced, but not too shabby

My son really wanted a Star Wars cake for one of his birthdays. When one of my friends saw it, she ordered a small one for her boyfriend, too!

This one was for my son

Video games always seem to be popular. Here are a couple of cakes inspired by the Super Mario Bros.

"Mushroom" cupcakes to match

Mario wouldn't be complete without Luigi!

The character cakes I've done have really run the gamut. From cartoons, books, and video games there have been quite a few. Here's a random sample:

Mickey Mouse

Elmo 

Angelina Ballerina

Harry Potter

Batman

Spiderman

Spiderman cupcakes

Snoopy 

The Wild Kratts

Thomas the Tank Engine (complete with rock candy "smoke")

Ninjago

Skylanders and the Portal of Power

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Daniel Tiger

Strawberry Shortcake

Hello Kitty

There's a cast of characters in cake. If you have a special request, send it along... I'd love to add a new character to my repertoire!
